The purpose of this experiment is to examine the relationship between structure of texts and selective recall and recognition. Subjects (90 female undergraduates) read texts of three different types: narratives, expository-descriptive texts, and expository-interference texts. After reading, subjects received recall test and recognition test one hour or one week after. Same three target statements were embedded in these texts. In the narrative condition, rate of correctly recalled propositions were higher than in the interference condition, and rate of recall for macro-propositions were higher than for micro-propositions, but recall and recognition of target statements were relatively poor in this condition, probably because narrative sentences were organized according to the macro-structure by story schema, but target statements were perceived as being irrelevant to the macro-structure of the narratives. In the expository-descriptive condition, rate of correctly recalled propositions were as high as narrative condition, and recall and recognition of target statements were significantly higher. It is interpreted that expository texts were well organized according to the macro-structure, and target statements were perceived as being relevant to the macro-structure.
